Ahh! This is such a good TV show, because it always has you at the edge of your seat and you are never bored. The constant action and "forbidden love" between Camille and Klaus really captivates their audience, but there is something for everyone. There's action around every corner and the characters are badass when they need to protect the ones they love. Overall, it's a really captivating show and it is worth your time .

The sound is so off on these that I can't even stand to watch the show. Then half the time it glitches, you can't even see movement, and noise comes a full 45 seconds after an action. The worst. I'm better off downloading it off a foreign website, the worst money waste ever.
